The Book Of Acts, Part 5- Standing Firm On A Solid Foundation Series

Contributed by Mark Strauss on May 4, 2006

When we meet Peter and John in Acts 4, they are in a situation that we would expect to produce fear. Fear is a rational response. •They have been arrested and thrown in prison. Their very lives are threatened. •Yet instead of fear, we see boldness a

The Beautiful Letdown

Contributed by Steve Malone on Sep 9, 2004

In our text today – Peter as he continues to talk to believers (who were undergoing some serious; trails, hardships, suffering and letdowns…) Is going to try to get them to see these letdowns from a different perspective. (Living God’s Way - 8)

The Beautiful Letdown Living God’s Way – part 8 1 Peter 4:12-19 One day – a tough, strong fisherman leaned up against a wall, grabbed a pen, a piece of paper and guided by the Holy Spirit, wrote the words that we as a church 2,000 years later have been studying – for 8 weeks now FRIENDS – the ...read more

The Light Of Christmas The Way Of Christ Series

Contributed by Brett Crosson on May 10, 2019

Christ came into this world to do some amazing things, and to show us the way to live. He wants us to be servants, to make sacrifices and to flow in the supernatural power of God. Peter did, Paul did, Philip did and so can you and I.

Phil 2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do ...read more

Forward In Faith: Free From Sin, Not Free To Sin Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 14, 2014

‘stand firm’ in the freedom which Christ brings, and Christ alone brings. Do not go back into the old way of trying to earn or win God’s favour by obedience to the Law. (1 Peter 1 v18-19)

This morning I want us to think about freedom, what we have freedom from and what we have the freedom to do. Christians often talk about something we refer to as the Gospel, the Gospel simply means Good News or glad tidings. And one of the best ways we can explain the Good News about Jesus ...read more

Walk With Christ

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 4, 2011

In the calling of Peter, Andrew, James and John to follow Jesus we see a lesson for all who would follow Him that 1) A Disciple shows Diligence (Matthew 4:18–20) and 2) A Disciple shows Determination (Matthew 4:21–22)

Redeeming Our Denials

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 26, 2011

There is a bit of Peter in all of us. We are weak in the face of temptation. We feel like failures. Some people even keep a spiritual scorecard reminding them that they struck out. Jesus is willing to forgive our failures and call us into His service. A

Receiving Your Miracle

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Sep 5, 2011

We live in a world today that is desperate for something real...something that is available to ordinary people just like me and you. Peter and John stood before the most skeptical, anti-Christian crowd possible...are those people recognized them as ordina

The Church Of Saint Who Series

It's God's Grace That Goes To Bat For Us.

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jul 27, 2012

As long as mankind has been around there has never been an illustration or definition of God's grace that stays in the heart until it takes root and begins to grow. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

It's God's Grace that goes to bat for us. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Total Forgiveness Series

Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 9, 2016

Another interpretation of Peter's Vision, about clean and unclean. What if this means that you and I are now considered clean and washed and totally forgiven? I believe it does! God says it. I believe it! Now there is nothing between us and God!

Total Forgiveness While reading about Peter's vision, in Acts 10 recently, I received a new insight into how God looks at our Total Forgiveness. Peter is praying, up on a housetop, when he falls into a trance. He sees a “sheet” filled with “all kinds of wild beasts, ...read more

It's About Time Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Feb 23, 2016

The sermon is based on 1 Peter 4.1-11. In addition to receiving the gifts of salvation and the Spirit, God has given us the gift of TIME. As all of His gifts, we are to be good stewards and correctly use the time we have been given.

1. The Gift of Time See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16 David Jeremiah observed: Almost everything in life is "stoppable." Even gravity can be suspended temporarily. But one part of life cannot be stopped ...read more
